Thermomix Cheese and bacon pastries

Thermomix Cheese and bacon pastries are so quick to make and are excellent for brunch, lunch or a picnic. If you like to make your own pastry, the recipe is in the basic cookbook. Use your imagination and fill them with anything that you like. I like cherry tomatoes, pesto with cheese or chorizo cubes to substitute the bacon.

You can also make them without the Thermomix. But with the thermomix they are quicker and also less washing up.

Ingredients

10 min to prepare and 20 to cook. this recipe makes 8 portions but you can cut the pastry smaller to make more. The recipe is easily doubled.
